There's more to choose from than you might think, including brands that prioritize inclusive size ranges (as they should) and propose special deals through online sample sales and even rental choices.

No need to worry because The Outnet was made for these sorts of situations. You'll find a wide range of high-end brands like Marchesa Notte, Badgley Mischka, and Halston deeply discounted - up to 85 percent off, whew. If the gauzy folds don't win you over, the price tag on this best-selling Halston Ruffled Chiffon Gown probably will. It was originally $495 and now it's $248 - if that's not worth celebrating, we're not sure what is. We get it: Amazon fashion can be iffy at times, but there are so many labels available through Amazon Deals Prime that you can trust. Take Adrianna Papell, for example.

They start at as low as $48 for an embroidered strapless number and never reach more than $500. The Timeless Grace White Lace Backless Mermaid Maxi Dress ($99), with its long sleeves and sweetheart neckline, is easily one of our favorite double-digit picks.
